The recent research publication detailing comprehensive market intelligence on the burgeoning social commerce industry in Africa and the Middle East has been prominently added to our extensive library of industry reports.

Exponential Growth Expected in Social Commerce Market

Social commerce is poised to emerge as a force majeure in the digital retail landscape, demonstrating a compelling annual growth rate of 34.0% to reach an impressive US$12.58 billion in 2024. The report elucidates the trajectory that sees the social commerce Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) in the region expanding from US$9.39 billion in 2023 to a staggering US$42.54 billion by 2029.

This market upsurge is backed by widespread social media usage and the penetration of e-commerce across diverse demographics. Notably, the Middle East and African markets are creating a robust framework conducive to the ascent of social commerce.

Rising Popularity of Social Media Platforms Catalyzes Social Buying

A substantial segment of the Middle East population avidly engages with social media platforms, with countries like Qatar having nearly 98% social media penetration. The prolific rise of platforms such as TikTok is testament to the region's acceptance of social commerce, evident from the 41% of TikTok users in the GCC who have made purchases through the platform. In the Emirates, consumer behavior leans significantly towards purchasing branded products and even luxury items via social channels, signaling a fruitful environment for social commerce firms looking to elevate their market presence in the coming years.

B2B E-commerce Firms Venture into Social Commerce

The African market is witnessing a parallel narrative where the incorporation of social commerce strategies by small businesses is on the ascent due to limited capital to open stores or expand operations. Several B2B e-commerce players are recognizing the vast prospects within this sector, moving to capitalize on the burgeoning opportunities.

  • MarketForce's launch of the Chpter platform in Kenya stands as a prime example, enhancing sales and revenue growth through leveraging social media interactions.
  • SleekFlow announcing a fivefold revenue increase in the UAE during the first half of 2023 lays further credence to the potential held within these markets.
